A Miami-Dade chess teacher was arrested Tuesday after a 6-year-old boy reported being inappropriately touched during a lesson, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said Christopher Stormont, 50, faces charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child.
Boy told mom
The sheriff’s office said the incident took place at 5 p.m., in the 8300 block of SW 124th St.
The victim, whose identity was verified by his mother, attended a chess class with Stormont. Upon leaving the class, the boy immediately told his mother that Stormont touched his private area over his clothing, authorities reported.
Arrest and investigation
Stormont was taken into custody at the scene and taken to the Special Victims Bureau/Sexual Crimes Investigations Unit, according to the sheriff’s department.
After being read his Miranda rights, Stormont provided a statement, officials said. He was then transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK) for further processing.
